Scott MacPherson, Conductor. http://sydneyguillaumeMUSIC.com/portfolio-items/twa-tanbou/ Text by Louis M. Celestin Translation: Three drums Are having an argument A great Sunday morning On their way back from Guinea A little Kata . . . A little Tanbouren . . . A big Boula . . . Boula declared That he can hit the loudest Boula declared "I can hit the loudest!" Tanbouren said "I have the most beautiful sound" He said "when I perform, keep quiet and listen!" Kata who was hearing all this became angry He could not comprehend how two soldiers Who are dressed with the same outfit And are children of the same mother Are sitting around making a scandal One fine Mardi-Gras day, Kata started to "zouk" Every single person there began to dance . . .

We welcome experienced SATB singers who are keen to perform MUSIC of all genres to a HIGH standard in an informal environment. Our ethos: CONTEXT Historical, social and environmental contexts of MUSIC, and the influence of these on performance, will be central to rehearsals and concerts.
